Researchers are seeing how well the drug FORE8394 works in people with advanced solid tumors, including brain tumors. The people in this study include adults and children with cancers that keep growing or came back even with treatment. Their tumors have mutations (changes or variants) in the BRAF gene.
-
Researchers want to see if combining radiation therapy and immunotherapy is safe and works well for treating advanced adrenocortical cancer. The people in this study have adrenocortical cancer that spread to other parts of the body, including the liver.
-
Researchers in this study want to determine if combining the drug venetoclax with standard chemotherapy may be more effective than standard chemotherapy alone in children and adolescents with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Venetoclax blocks Bcl-2, a protein that helps cancer cells to survive and resist the effects of cancer treatments. By blocking Bcl-2, venetoclax may kill cancer cells and/or make other treatments more effective.

Primary immune regulatory disorder (PIRD) and autoinflammatory conditions are conditions of the immune system that can cause an unusual amount of inflammation. While a stem cell transplant is a standard treatment for people with a PIRD or autoinflammatory condition, the inflammation caused by these conditions can reduce the effectiveness of this treatment.

Researchers are assessing the use of cobimetinib to treat Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and other histiocytic disorders. Histiocytic disorders are diseases caused by the abnormal function or buildup of immune cells called histiocytes. Cobimetinib works by blocking the activity of a protein called MEK. This protein leads to the abnormal growth and development of histiocytosis cells.
-
Researchers are assessing a new type of therapy in young people with solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment. The therapy is called afamitresgene autoleucel. The people in this study have synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), neuroblastoma, or osteosarcoma. In addition, they have tested positive for the HLA-A*02 gene and their cancers make a protein called MAGE-A4. This protein plays a role in cancer growth.

Doctors want to know if giving emapalumab as upfront pre-treatment works well for people with severe acquired aplastic anemia (sAA). This medication is given after diagnosis, but before standard sAA treatment. In people with sAA, stem cells are destroyed and the body cannot make new blood cells.
-
Researchers want to see how well ulixertinib works in people with histiocytic neoplasms. Histiocytic neoplasms are rare diseases in which too many white blood cells called histiocytes build up in tissues and organs. This can cause damage to tissue or tumor(s) to form. The tumor(s) may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). There are different types of histiocytic neoplasms, including:
-
Researchers are assessing a CAR T cell therapy to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that keeps growing even with treatment. With CAR T cell therapy, some of your own T cells (a type of white blood cell) are removed. They are genetically modified (changed) in a lab to recognize your own cancer cells. The altered T cells, called CAR T cells, are then returned to your body to find and kill cancer cells. This treatment is a form of immunotherapy.
